Question

Adrianna has fabric that is 3/4 yard long. How many 1/8 yard long pieces will she have???

Answer 1

Adrianna will have 6 1/8 yard pieces.

Explanation:

`1/8*2/1=2/8 \\2/8=1/4\\So\\6/8=3/4`

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

If x is the number of 1/8 yard long pieces, then the total length is x * 1/8. We know that the total length is 3/4 yards. Therefore:

x * 1/8 = 3/4

Divide:

x = (3/4) / (1/8)

To divide a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

x = (3/4) * (8/1)

x = 24/4

x = 6

She has 6 pieces.
